Pierre Jackson has joined the Texas Legends and is expected to be in uniform for Thursday’s game against the Greensboro Swarm.

The Legends are the D-League affiliate for the Dallas Mavs and acquired Jackson in a trade. Jackson should get a ton of playing time and could be one of the top scorers in the D-League. Jackson was a star in the D-League before his torn Achilles, but he's cooled off as a prospect. We're hopeful he gets another shot in the NBA. Nov 30 - 3:14 PM

He's an easy guy to cheer for and hopefully gets another shot. Jackson has quite the shoe collection and he tweeted back on Aug. 3 he'd "be sick" if he didn't get on an NBA roster and Derek Fisher did. After a really nice run at Las Vegas with the Blazers, someone will bring Pappy Jack on board for camp. If he gets an invite to a team with sub-par guard depth, he's someone to watch in deep leagues.

Pierre Jackson was part of the Lakers free agent minicamp on Wednesday.

Jackson played with the Trail Blazers in Vegas Summer League, but is looking to hook on where he can. While Jackson has some upside, he's yet to log a minute of NBA action and shouldn't be on any draft lists. Aug 18 - 9:40 AM

This will be the fourth straight game Curry has missed due to the knee sprain. Starter Deron Williams will continue to played extended minutes. Devin Harris and Jonathan Gibson will likely see addition time off the bench.

Dirk Nowtizki (Achilles) will not suit up for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Wednesday will be Nowtizki's sixth straight game on the sidelines, and Rick Carlisle hasn't given any clues regarding when we can expect Dirk to get back on the court, although with this season quickly turning into a lost cause for Dallas we'd speculate that he's doubtful for Friday's game against the Pacers. Dorian Finney-Smith will likely continue to start, but Dwight Powell is the guy you want to target.

Andrew Bogut (right knee bone bruise) said he could miss anywhere from 10 days to 3-4 weeks.

Bogut tends to be a slow healer, and he was initially given a 2-week timetable, so it's extremely unlikely we see him back on the court in 10 days, particularly with Dallas sitting on a 4-16 record. On the season, Bogut has only produced 14th round value in standard 9-cat leagues with averages of 3.8 points, 10.3 boards, 2.2 assists and 0.9 blocks per contest, so he's not really worth hanging onto in standard leagues. Dwight Powell should benefit most in Bogut's absence.
